Dear Danny C~

Welcome here to the Forum, and here you will not feel isolated, in fact you have already seen that others are going though the same thing.

Depression and anxiety make for horrible life and the fact this situation is not new to you makes it all the harder.

A couple of links might help with information on anxiety ( have found them pretty good):

Forums / Anxiety / SELF HELP TIPS FOR MANAGING ANXIETY
and
https://www.beyondblue.org.au/the-facts/anxiety/treatments-for-anxiety/anxiety-management-strategies

I hope you do not mind if I make a suggestion? At the moment you are in a general welcome newcomers section, and as a result the number of people that will will see your posts is limited.

May I ask you create your own thread in the Depression or Anxiety sections where everyone will see. The more who talk with the the better.

Sophie_M's first post in

Forums / Welcome and orientation / The forum FAQ thread

shows where the NEW THREAD button is. (come back here if you get stuck)

If you would like to say more about your life and what is affecting you that would be great.

We'll look out for your new thread

Thanks

Croix

Hi Danny

Croix has given you a warm welcome and some very good suggestions.

Being here - you're not alone. There are many of us who have anxiety (plus) and depression. Anxiety is the pits at times hey? So good though you are trying to find ways to help manage it when it starts.

I've lived with anxiety (plus and plus) for a very long time. It is manageable, though when I'm triggered it can go overboard until I do things that reduce it. Such as writing, writing in here especially.

Just wanted to pop in to let you know there are a lot of us here and to drop in anytime. Starting your own thread under Anxiety or Depression is a great idea by Croix too.

Keep reaching out Danny if you want and to share more of your story, if you want. No pressure.

Kind regards

PamelaR
